Rackley WAR Taps Dawson Sutton for No. 25 Truck

Dawson Sutton will drive the No. 25 Rackley WAR Chevrolet for the remainder of the 2024 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series season, the team announced Sept. 23.

Ty Dillon, who previously drove the truck this year, will remain with the organization as driver coach and mentor to the 18-year-old Sutton.

“We are super-thankful for the job Ty has done for us this year as our primary driver,” Willie Allen, team co-owner, said. “We appreciate his willingness to take on an additional role and help Dawson grow and develop as a young driver for the remainder of the NASCAR Truck Series season. We look forward to Ty’s continued valuable input and support in the ongoing development of our race program.”

The team has not yet confirmed its 2025 driver lineup.

“I am thankful to everyone at Rackley W.A.R. for the opportunity to make my return to the Truck Series,” Dillon said. “I look forward to mentoring Dawson for the remainder of this season, and am very excited to focus on my future plans behind the wheel in 2025.”

Dillon steps out of the No. 25 truck 18th in the series points standings. His best finish was two ninth-place efforts at Darlington Raceway and Richmond Raceway.

Sutton has made two Truck starts this year in a second truck, the No. 26, for Rackley WAR. His high-water mark of 18th came at Nashville Superspeedway.
